Top tips for renting a car in Winnipeg
- Renting a car is highly advised if you are visiting Winnipeg, as the city is truly best explored by car, especially because public transport is limited to a bus service in the city. Some of the great day trip options available to visitors with a car include Pembina Valley, Spruce Woods Provincial Park, and the quintessential lake town of Gimli. Gimli, in particular, at just an hour away from Winnipeg, is one of the most popular day trip destinations and its lakeside boardwalk is sure to enchant many a visitor.
- Picking up a rental car after flying into Winnipeg International Airport? Travelers looking to rent a car after landing in Winnipeg can find the rental car counters on the main level of the airport’s adjacent parkade.
- Travelers visiting Winnipeg during winter should be extra careful when driving on icy and snowy roads. Canada and Manitoba especially have some serious winter weather and in a flash the roads can be covered with fresh powder. Drivers unused to such conditions are advised to drive extra cautiously and to stick to only the largest and most well-maintained roads.
- Luckily for drivers, Winnipeg’s rush hour is not even close to being as severe as Toronto’s or Montreal’s. Drivers can usually expect to see the morning rush hour pick up at around 7:30 a.m. and finish up shortly after 9:00 a.m. As for the afternoon peak, it starts at around 3:30 p.m. and slows down at about 5:30 p.m. Some of the main roads to avoid during rush hour include Osborne St. (Route 62) and Pembina Highway (Route 42).
- 25% of our users found rental cars in Winnipeg for C$ 51 or less
- Book your rental car in Winnipeg at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact rental cars in Winnipeg are around 54% cheaper than other car types, on average

Be more open about insurance coverage, as I was not told that I am responsible for full vehicle because I don't have Canadian driver licence.

They didn't have the car i wanted and tried to put me in a compact SUV?!?! I found out after the fact that the second driver was not added to the file. The CSR at the initial location was proven to have been incompetent and given bad information that could have been very costly for us.10.0 Wonderful

Nov. 2017
Pros:
Originally rented a Kia, upgraded to Golf @ airport for $5 more.Cons:
Car needed servicing. Low Coolant light came on several times (looked under hood, it was very low, but there was a little coolant left). Also, ran out of washer fluid after the 4th or 5th use10.0 Wonderful
Aug. 2017
Pros:
The staff was very helpful and friendly! It was a quick process to rent the car and the drop off process. The cars are close by to the airport which is great when you have lots of bags and kids!Cons:
I never like all the additional charges when you show up to get the car. This is not specific to Payless. Our guys was not pushy which was nice.2.0 Poor

Pros:

Jul. 2017
Pros:
Best price I could find, the replacement car I got was brand newCons:
When picking up the car they didn't have the car size I had reserved, the company representative tried to put me in a smaller car which was unsuitable for my needs, it took me sometime to convince him that I could not settle for his proposal and that I would expect from him to upsize the vehicle at no additional cost instead of downsizing at the same rate. Eventually he somehow found a proper size car which worked well but had a coolant level warning light come on intermittently while driving. I reported this problem after it had appeared a few times and was asked to bring the car in and exchange it for another. Needless to say I did not appreciate the "welcome treatment" I had received. Other than that everything worked out fine10.0 Wonderful
Jul. 2017
Pros:
The car got incredible gas mileage. It was a great car and we were very happy with this rental and the whole process of pickup and dropoff was very easy.Driving Force

They had my rental ready on time and there was a good 4 hour leeway for returning the car without incurring additional charges but I managed to return the car on time. They also gave me a brand new car as my rental unit.Winnipeg U-Drive Rent-A-Car
